Snap Fitness Sittingbourne Gym helps young people get into exercise

Exercise should be a vital part of all of our lives, particularly young people.

There are a host of benefits that it can provide, including improved physical health, better mental wellbeing, increased confidence, stronger social connections, improved focus and discipline, and the development of healthy lifelong habits.

Exercise can also help to reduce crime rates by giving young people better structure, a clear routine and a sense of purpose.

All in all, it helps create positive outlets for energy, builds responsibility and encourages stronger community connections.

That’s where Snap Fitness in Grid House, St Michael’s Road Sittingbourne comes in.

The gym offers memberships for young people aged 16 and above.

It also works closely with local youth groups and sports teams that use the gym, including Sports Connect, Westlands Secondary School, Sittingbourne FC youth teams, Iwade Herons FC and Faversham Strike Force, supporting the community and providing youngsters with the opportunity to stay active.

Jack Smith of JS Performance Training and Alex Palmerton of Palmo Fitness also work with younger children from the age of five upwards.

Some simply want to improve their overall fitness, while others are focused on improving performance in their chosen sports. Between them, they support academy footballers, professional and amateur boxers, basketball, cricket and rugby players, helping young athletes build strength, confidence and discipline from an early age.

Personal training sessions are available with both Jack and Alex, and they take clients aged under 16. Both are DBS checked, which provides reassurance for parents and highlights Snap Fitness’s commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for younger members.
